VIEW XML IN SQL*PLUS

how can we view xml on sql*plus?
when xmltype is viewed on sql*prompt it shows incomplete xml.
example:
SQL> select xmlelement("ROOT",xmlforest(1 as A, 2 as B, 3 as C)) from dual;
XMLELEMENT("ROOT",XMLFOREST(1ASA,2ASB,3ASC))
<ROOT>
<A>1</A>
<B>2</B>
<C>3</C>
</ROOT>
but i generate an xml from table so it becomes quite huge. say a forest is populated with 6-8 tags. it shows broken output.
SQL> /
ID LIST
<DEPT>
<EMPLOYEE>
<ID>2109</ID>
<ID>3108</ID>
<ID>4107</ID>
<ID>5106</ID>
<ID
i have tried increasing bufferwidth and bufferlength tp max value (1000 and 2000 respectively) eventhen it displays the output as shown above.
how can i view my xml?

use this sql plus command:
set long 2000000
You can increase\decrease the value as required.

Need to find out View definition by SQL PLUS

Hi,
I have a view VW_XXX, I want to know by which table this view has created. But need to use only SQL PLUS not any tool.
Please let me know how cani see the full definitio of the view by SQL PLUS.
Regs,
brij

Yes, it will work for both 9i and 10g. Just run the commands, and you will get the output.
These are not "Dangerous Commands!!!"

To solve these issues Oracle9i has introduced the DBMS_METADATA package which can be used to retrieve object definitions as DDL or XML. There are a number of ways to use the API, but I suspect the majority of people will only ever use the following functions.

Apex 4.0 - Can see view data in SQL*Plus but no data in Object Browser

Hi There,
I have just started using Apex 4.o and migrated some apps. I have an issue with a report, but see the same issue with Object browser, which is easier to describe.
I have a view:
create or replace view V_PLJ_USERDEF_CODES (
         CODE_SET_ID,
         CODE_SET_CODE,
         CODE_SET_DESC,
         CODE_ID,
         CODE_SYS_CODE,
         CODE_VALUE,
         CODE_DESC,
         DISPLAY_SEQ,
         DISPLAY_FLAG,
         LANGUAGE_CODE) as
select CS.CODE_SET_ID,
         CS.CODE_SET_CODE,
         CS.CODE_SET_DESC,
         C.CODE_ID,
         C.CODE_SYS_CODE,
         C.CODE_VALUE,
         C.CODE_DESC,
         C.DISPLAY_SEQ,
         C.DISPLAY_FLAG,
         C.LANGUAGE_CODE
    from PLJ_CODES C,
         PLJ_CODE_SETS CS
   where C.CODE_SET_ID         = CS.CODE_SET_ID
     and CS.CODE_SET_TYPE_CODE = SYS_CONTEXT('PLJUMPSTART','C_USERDEF_CODE_SET');This returns data in SQL*Plus, but no data in Object Browser OR report region based on this view.
Workspace parses in the same schema as tested in SQL*Plus.
If, in report, I swap out view, and use underlying table - no problem.
Any ideas -
thanks
P

Hi all,
Thanks for getting back so promptly.
It just seems weird to me, as tables are just fine, but not views.
In the underlying schema:
SQL> sho user
USER is "ICSREPORTING"
SQL> select count(*) from plj_codes;
COUNT(*)
       107
SQL> select count(*) from v_plj_userdef_codes;
COUNT(*)
        29And in the APEX schema
SQL> sho user
USER is "APEX_040000"
SQL> select count(*) from icsreporting.plj_codes;
select count(*) from icsreporting.plj_codes
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
SQL> select count(*) from icsreporting.v_plj_userdef_codes;
select count(*) from icsreporting.v_plj_userdef_codes
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
SQL>However, in SQL browser, I can see the data in PLJ_CODES but in V_PLJ_USERDEF_CODES, just the message "This view has no data". Indeed, it is like this for all views.
I even explicitly granted access to APEX_040000 but no good.
In fact, I would like to know more about how Apex gets access to do DML against the underlying parsing schema(s).
This is a little frustrating though. It worked just fine in lots of apps in version 2.1 to 3.2
Am I missing something
paul
p.s I knew there would be a question about the context, but I had already checked that. :)

Viewing tables in sql plus

hai friends.,
i created a java database pgm using jdbc:odbc connectivity, that creates a table in the database and i inserted some records in that table. how can i view those table and records in the sql plus. what commands are used to view those table
regards.,
sekar

Hi sekar,
Interesting, you're able to do a 'CREATE TABLE bla...' but are not familiar with 'SELECT'? I would suggest to read some basic stuff about SQL statements. What will you do when the next task is: "Hey, I need a pgm to change these values in the table!"?

Issues passing XML to SQL*Plus in UNIX

Oracle 10.2.0.3.0
For some reason I can't seem to figure this out.
This is my PL/SQL script (load_table.sql):
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
SET VERIFY OFF
DECLARE
v_clob CLOB;
BEGIN
v_clob := '&1';
INSERT INTO rh_page (pageid, pagecontent)
VALUES ('&2', XMLTYPE(v_clob));
COMMIT;
END;
EXIT;
It is executed by this shell script (load_table.sh):
#!/usr/bin/ksh
. $HOME/envfile
USERID=myUserID/myPassword
XMLDATA=`cat test_file.xml`
FILENAME="TestFile"
LOG_FILE=load_table.log
sqlplus $USERID << EOF > ${LOG_FILE}
@ load_table.sql ${XMLDATA} ${FILENAME}
exit 0
Here is a sample of the XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Page>
        <PageName></PageName>
        <Title></Title>
        <Roles>-1</Roles>
        <Controls>
                <PageTool>
                        <visible>false</visible>
                </PageTool>
                <divTopLeft>
                        <visible>true</visible>
</Page>
After I execute load_table.sh, I see that load_table.log contains the following error:
SQL> SQL> DECLARE
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-31011: XML parsing failed
ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
LPX-00007: unexpected end-of-file encountered
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLTYPE", line 254
ORA-06512: at line 1
ORA-06512: at line 9Any ideas on what is causing this error or how to resolve?

I understand this is probably not the best approach; however, I was in the process of automating the process of reading multiple XML files and loading their content to a table. Since I don't have DB privelges to set up External Tables or utilize UTL_FILE, I was trying this approach to simply direct the contents of an XML file into a UNIX shell script variable, and then pass it on as a SQL*Plus substitution variable.
I originally did this manually, by opening each of the 40+ files and copying/pasting their content to set a CLOB variable in a PL/SQL block...now I'm just trying to figure a way to automate the same manual steps.

DISPLAY UNDEFINE TABLES IN SQL PLUS

i am using Oracle 10g
for last 1 week i seen unrecognized table names in my user while i issue following command
SQL > select * from tab;
table name like ......BIN$ and many other characters after it...
i cannot drop that table also
from DBA studio above table can't view but from SQL PLUS it display as table
what i have to do to drop such tables ? please give advice

These are recyclebin tables. A normal 'drop table' command puts a table into the recyclebin, you can get it back through 'flashback drop' command. Use 'purge user_recyclebin' to delete the tables finally.

SQL*Plus formatting

Can someone know how to configure login.sql to view data from SQL*Plus just like in standard MySQL output?

as to the one column per line, I would recommend increasing your LINESIZE
set linesize 1000
to get the vertical bar between things
set colsep |
to force a row of underscores between each line
set recsep each
don't think we can do the "+"
and I hope the lack of spaces (positional output) is due to the lack of "[ pre ]" tags in your post

Can we use xml Publisher reporting for sql* Plus in EBS

Hello All,
The current report is designed in Sql* Plus Executable report and the output is in txt format, Now the requirement is to have the output in Excel format.
So is it possible to use the xml reporting and make the output as Excel from the word template we design from MSword as we do for rdf(I have done few reports created in rdf to xml publisher reports in EBS and stand alone as well.).
Do the same procedure will suit for Sql*Plus reports tooo or Is there any work around to achieve this.
Thanks and Regards
Balaji.

Hi
Thanks for the reply..
I tried to do the follwoing
1. changed the output to xml in the conc. prog.
2. ran the same report but i am getting the follwoing error in the output file
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
Invalid at the top level of the document. Error processing resource
Other reports which are using the Oracle Reports(rdf) as source, i am able to generated the xml as expected....
So my question is whether we can use sql* reports executable and generate xml in the conc.prog.
if any one has used the sql*reports for xml publisher reporting... please let me know, so that if its possible i will check my sql needs some validation or tuning...
thanks in advance
Balaji.

XML display in SQL*Plus

Hi,
I have a data stored in table in XML format in a clob column. When I query the table containing the XML data only part of the XML is shown in SQL*Plus. Is there anyway that I can view the full XML data in SQL* Plus prompt?
Thanks,
Milton.

The SET LOBOFFSET, SET LONG and SET LONGCHUNKSIZE values affect how SQL*Plus fetches from CLOBs.

Error creating view with CASE -- WHEN statement in SQL*Plus

I am using Oracle 8i 8.1.7
I have an Oracle view which uses CASE...WHEN statements.
The view compiles fine in DBA studio.
Using TOAD I saved the view as an *.sql file.

Xml output format in sql*plus problem

Hi all,
In stead of seeing xml output in multiple line format, my sql*plus always returns xml output in ONE line, is there a way to change the format, it's really hard to read.
Thanks
1 select xmlelement("row", xmlelement("user", xmlattributes(username as "name", default_tablespa
2 from dba_users
3* where rownum=1
SQL>/
XMLELEMENT("ROW",XMLELEMENT("USER",XMLATTRIBUTES(USERNAMEAS"NAME",DEFAULT_TABLES
<row><user name="SYS" tbs="SYSTEM"></user></row>
however I want to see something well formatted like
<row>
<user name="SYS" tbs="SYSTEM"></user>
</row>

Not sure if there are any settings with the SQL*PLUS but if you use packages other than the SQLX operators like DBMS_XMLQUERY, DBMS_XMLGEN, SYS_XMLGEN to generate xml then the output is as desired.
select dbms_xmlgen.getxml('select username, default_tablespace from dba_users
where rownum=1') from dual
DBMS_XMLGEN.GETXML('SELECTUSERNAME,DEFAULT_TABLESPACEFROMDBA_USERSWHEREROWNUM=1'
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<USERNAME>REVIEW</USERNAME>
<DEFAULT_TABLESPACE>METRICS</DEFAULT_TABLESPACE>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
But these packages does not offer the flexibility you have with SQLX operators.
so if you requirement is simple generation you can use the above method.

Probably you are trying to view BLOB data. Try this to view the data:
SQL> CREATE TABLE t (a BLOB)
2 /
Table created.
SQL> INSERT INTO t
2 VALUES (UTL_RAW.cast_to_raw ('Hello World'))
3 /
1 row created.
SQL> SELECT UTL_RAW.cast_to_varchar2 (a) a
